Bab 58: God vs Human: True Ragnarok
A/N: I'm not someone who enjoys talking about my life, I don't enjoy sharing my problems; I see that as the magic of me as an author. However, what happened on December twenty-fourth made me reflect on my life, on how nobody has life guaranteed.
We're not anime protagonists or superheroes; our lives aren't protected by the author.
Well, I'll just say that on the night of the twenty-fourth, I had to face two guys who tried to kill my father and brother.
It was a tough fight, and I took a hard blow to the abdomen with a metal bar; my father ended up with a broken finger, a sprained ankle, and several blows, and my brother, although stabbed several times with a screwdriver, wasn't serious because it didn't penetrate his skin; it wasn't a sharp screwdriver.
But don't worry, we're all okay, and one of the two attackers ended up in the hospital with a fractured skull and in intensive care.
Our main concern is the other one who threatened to kill us all, but he already has several complaints and lawsuits, not just ours.
...
God...
I don't even know why the heck I'm alive Hahahaha
Well, things happened that I'd only put in a Netflix series: lawsuits, complaints, death threats, drug dealers, corrupt cops, legal proceedings, paranoia, and several other things.
Six days that I can only describe as a surreal movie; I thought that only happened on television, but no, it's my damn life. I went from a quiet Christmas dinner to fighting for my life and that of my family. I might even move if that guy doesn't end up in jail or dead...
Don't worry, I'm fine and hope to keep writing for a long time.
Phew, I love creating stories; I can't imagine stopping writing. However, I have a life like everyone else, and it's complicated to dedicate so much time to a hobby without it affecting your daily life, but as I said, I love creating stories.

"Mr. Stark?" Jarvis noticed Tony's hesitation and brought him back to reality.
"Fire," Tony ordered, ignoring that uneasiness.
The massive shots were about to hit Loki once again, but just before impact, Loki's figure turned into Hulk.
"AHHHHHGGG"
The green giant yelled in annoyance, but before he went berserk, Loki appeared and with a black metallic arm, hit Hulk on the head.
Hulk fell unconscious and everyone looked confused. Why did Tony attack Hulk? The answer came with a scream. How Loki brought down Hulk with one blow.
"Loki, he can use illusions!" Thor was the one who shouted upon seeing this.
Worthy of the god of lies, a power befitting his nature of deceit and falsehood.
Remembering this, Sif prepared to carry Thor away from here since he had no power at the moment. But before she could move, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Volstagg fall beside her, and behind the dwarf was Faldran, who had stabbed him with a dagger.
Faldran charged at Sif, but the Valkyrie managed to stop Faldran's dagger. "Why, Faldran?!" a furious Sif yelled.
Faldran just smiled, and at that moment, he turned into Loki. With the illusion broken, the real Faldran appeared on the ground with a cut on his back.
For the first time, Sif felt chills. She had previously scorned Loki's way of fighting with magic and illusions, but now, she realized how dangerous and ridiculously difficult it is to face someone like that.
"Valiant Valkyrie, yearning for an impossible love... how many years have you pursued Thor only to be rejected time and time again?" Loki mocked maliciously as he pressed against the Valkyrie.
"Shut up, traitor!" Furious, Sif pushed Loki while charging at him to strike, but an arrow passed in front of her and stopped her.
"What are you doing, archer?!" An annoyed Sif yelled at Hawkeye.
"I'm lending a hand..." Clint aimed at the injured Faldran on the ground. "You're quite unpleasant, Loki."
"You have a keen eye..." Faldran complimented as he stood up and, at the same time, transformed into Loki.
"But when?!" Horrified, Sif watched as the Loki in front of her turned into a nervous Thor.
"That was close..." said Thor as he pushed aside Sif's sword from his throat.
Thor looked at Loki in silence; there was no hatred or resentment in his eyes, only disappointment. "Even if you're a Frost Giant, you'll always be my brother, and nothing will change that... but it's hard for me to believe that you'll abandon us just because of that..."
Loki remained silent for a moment as veins bulged on his forehead.
"Just because of that?!... Do you think a thousand years of lies is just that?!!"
Thor could feel Loki's gaze filled with true murderous intent, and far from scaring him, it only saddened him.
'Loki...'
...
*Thor's POV*
There was no doubt in his eyes; I know my brother and this time, nothing will stop him.
Loki was hit by an energy beam that pushed him back.
"Mortal!" Filled with rage, Loki looked at the man in armor and shot a beam at him with his magic.
Brother, I was never good with words, but you know that many times, you were the only reason I could stand in the worst situations.
I looked at my hands, scraped from rolling on the ground a while ago; my neck still hurts, and my breath gets heavier with each passing moment, but it's not out of fear but out of helplessness.
Loki, you were always better than me at these things. I'm bad at expressing myself, and you know it. If Mother were here, she'd know what to say to you. I could only use force to stop you, and now I can't even do that.
"Father, if there's a chance to see you again, I'd like to apologize for everything..."
I gritted my teeth and ran towards Loki. I know it's the stupidest thing I could do.
I caught a glimpse of Faldran, Volstagg, and Sif. Thanks, friends.
– "Thor, the hammer is simply a means to channel your power; you are the god of thunder" –
My father's words that I had once heard echoed clearly in my ears as I felt something lost return to me. The clouds darkened as Loki's eyes widened. I clenched my fist tighter than ever and with a scream from the depths of my soul, I struck Loki in the face.
*End of POV*
In RGB room 2, Mjolnir resonated with a faint sound, which reached Allen's ears as he was inside the virtual world.
Allen had a player kneeling, begging for mercy. The sound, similar to a whistle, reached his ears, and Allen nodded in understanding.
Mjolnir shot out of the window at great speed.
...
The thunderous sound of a thousand lightning bolts striking the ground ran across the sky in all directions. An overwhelming power capable of shaking the sky and the earth.
"After all, you're Thor..." Sleeping Odin murmured with a smile on his face as Frigga held his hand.
...
Loki was thrown several miles away, his body resembling a ragdoll as he crashed into everything in his path. Thor fell to the ground without energy, but his eyes showed all the determination in the world to continue if Loki got up again.
"Loki... are you using that?"
"Impossible..." Tony looked incredulously from the sky as Loki stood up as if nothing after receiving such a blow.
Loki spat a tooth with a little blood as he wiped his mouth.
"That was a good hit, brother..."
Thor narrowed his eyes as he struggled to stand. He couldn't see Loki clearly from this distance, but he could feel in his soul that Loki was almost unharmed. There could only be one answer in Thor's mind for this colossal resistance shown by Loki.
"Brother, are you crazy?! That thing will kill you!!"
Loki laughed upon hearing his brother's shouts. He teleported back near Thor.
Beneath Loki's golden and green attire was something metallic and dark that stood out.
"It won't kill me... only those with an unbreakable will can putting on the Destroyer without being consumed by it..." Loki cracked his neck as something moved beneath his clothes. "And nothing will stop me from fulfilling my Glorious Purpose!"
...
"And what is that Glorious Purpose?"
"...!!"
Loki was startled by the voice of someone so close. Without hesitation, he struck with his metallic arm but was stopped by someone's hand.
At the same time, Loki felt immense pressure as if something were trying to crush him.
Enveloped in red lightning, a young man with white hair and gray eyes looked at him calmly while holding his arm.
"A mortal?"
"Good morning, I'm Allen Walker." Allen smiled widely and courteously, but his Haki intensified every second.
Loki tried to push him away with an amplified magic wave, but it clashed with the Haki and ended in a stalemate. Loki squinted; there have already been people capable of blocking his magic, but it was the first time he felt this way. It was as if a force directly contradicted his magic.
"You..." Loki looked deeply at Allen while unlocking the seal of the Destroyer.
"Loki!" Thor shouted as Mjolnir came to his hand. Allen backed away upon seeing the swirling lightning around Thor before approaching Loki.
"Brother!" Loki summoned his dagger and used it to confront the furious Thor.
Their clash caused a small storm in the sky.
Allen landed next to Natasha; the woman coughed, embarrassed under Allen's accusing gaze. She didn't inform him about this, knowing it would annoy him, as it wasn't Allen's responsibility to face every powered lunatic that appeared.
Allen approached and pulled her into his arms, then patted her on her rear end.
"Nhhg~" Natasha blushed deeper, letting out an embarrassed moan while her face went blank, unable to process the fact that her nephew did that.
"What the heck?!"
Another person filled with incredulity was Clint, who had a hawk's view, witnessing this to the point of almost stumbling.
Tony landed and opened his helmet.
"I'm not going to ask; just tell me you can defeat Loki..." Tony decided it was better not to comment, or Natasha would shoot him.
Allen, still with Natasha in his arms, looked at the battlefield: Clint had few arrows left. Tony looked okay, but his armor was below ten percent energy. Natasha was fine, but Allen didn't want her to fight a god with just a rifle. As for Thor's friends, except for Sif, they were all incapacitated.
Allen closed his eyes. 'System?'
[Host, three minutes...]
"Who knows..." Allen replied to Tony with a sweat drop on his cheek.
"What?!" Tony made a weird voice upon hearing that and grabbed Allen by the collar.. "What do you mean you don't know?! You're the same guy who almost destroyed the world yesterday?!"
"My powers are complicated... like a heavy machine gun when it heats up after firing a lot, I need time after using some ability."
Allen didn't want to say much about his abilities, but no one would be so foolish as not to suspect that he wouldn't use previous powers.
"That means you can't use your abilities." Tony's look turned serious.
"Not all of them; some I can use all the time, and others take time..." Allen noticed the mood of everyone and smiled confidently. "But don't worry, we have a Hulk!"
Allen looked at Banner, unconscious on the ground. "Forget it, there's no Hulk."
"*Cough* we still have Thor!" Allen added, knowing how powerful Thor was with his hammer.
*Explosion*
Thor crashed next to Allen, and everyone's gaze fixed on Loki, who walked with a red, anger-filled face.
"My life! My destiny! My path! All leads to fulfilling one thing! My glorious purpose!... I was a better son than you, Thor! But he could never put an ice giant on the throne of Asgard!"
The Destroyer armor began to become visible and covered Loki's body, causing the ground to tremble with each step.
Natasha touched Allen's cheek, and he sensed her touch before gently moving her away and starting to walk toward Loki.
Crown Clown manifested around Allen's body...
[Host, the confrontation has ended...]
Allen put on a serious face as he closed his eyes; Allen's aura changed, and an invisible pressure, different from Haki, surrounded him. Loki paid no attention to Allen at first but decided to look at him upon feeling a strange premonition.
"Loki, god of lies, can I ask you to leave?" Allen asked with the last trace of politeness he had left.
"I won't let anyone stand in the way..."
"I knew it..."
Black tattoos appeared on Allen's face, and when he opened his eyes, they had changed, becoming more beautiful. However, the viwers felt a chill as they witnessed the combination of JJK's most powerful characteristics.
Loki didn't care; with the Destroyer on, he was virtually invincible. Thus, they stared at each other at close range, creating a terrifying image that would go down in history before the world's eyes.
"Mortal..."
"God..."
